Was the Madam's grudge against Lakan really justified, considering how much pain it caused both him and Fengxian?
Lakan never knew Fengxian was still alive. When he returned to buy her freedom, he was led to believe she was gone.
Fengxian, meanwhile, believed he'd abandoned her after she got pregnant with his child.
The Madam knew what had happened to Fengxian, but her resentment towards Lakan kept them apart.
By the time they finally reunited, Fengxian was seriously ill, and they'd lost years they could've spent together.
Fengxian had a complicated relationship with the Madam even before all this happened.
During her earlier relationship with Lakan, she told him that she had no mother, only a woman who gave birth to her.
In the Pleasure District, a courtesan couldn't truly be a mother, and Fengxian's words showed how she viewed the woman who raised her.
The Madam had her reasons for resenting Lakan after what happened to Fengxian.
But keeping them apart meant that when he finally found her again, they had very little time left together.

Rudeus loses his arms more than once in Mushoku Tensei, but does he ever get them back?
The first time happens during his fight with Orsted. Rudeus loses his right arm during the battle, and at that point, he was already missing his left hand from the Manatite Hydra fight in the Teleportation Labyrinth.
After the fight, Rudeus ends up working under Orsted. Orsted uses healing magic to restore both of his original arms, so Rudeus no longer needs his prosthetic hand as a replacement.
But later in the story, Rudeus finds himself in an even worse situation.
In Volume 23, he runs into Aleksander Ryback, also known as Kalman III, and Gull Farion, the former Sword God. The two are working with Geese, and Rudeus gets caught in their trap.
Before he can summon his Magic Armor, Gull cuts off his right arm, then his left. Without his hands, Rudeus can't cast magic the way he normally does, leaving him almost helpless. He falls into a valley, and things look pretty bad.
Fortunately, Rudeus has something Atofe gave him earlier: a box containing a piece of her flesh. It was meant to help him in a desperate situation, and after the fall, it ends up saving his life.
The flesh transforms into a pair of black arms that replace the ones he'd lost. They're incredibly tough, and Rudeus can use them in place of his original limbs.
So yes, Rudeus gets his arms back twice. Orsted restores his original arms with healing magic, while the second time, Atofe's gift gives him a completely different pair of arms made from her own flesh.
